Adieu Google Reader

I have been using it for many years now & it has worked very well for my needs. There have been a few other RSS readers (mostly apps) in between, but I always returned to Google Reader.

Thinking about what kept bringing me back, it comes down to only one reason - I follow about 150+ feeds (some having numerous updates daily). I read some every day. The others may not be read everyday, but I do glance at some of the more intensive feeds in my free time & find some real gems in there.

Any feed reader app chokes with this many feeds & posts. Startup time becomes slow, management becomes a pain, updates take forever.

Google Reader did all of that on its servers & kept stuff ready for me to access when needed. If I had a few minutes, I just had to open it & I had stuff to read. No feed sync progress indicators, no wait time for feed downloads, …

There were the few other attractions too like complete keyboard navigation and infinite feed history, but they were not deciding factors in making me stick with this.

I feel sad to see it go… but also have hope that the hole left by its departure will urge some new service to come up & innovate in this area - give me something that I never knew that I needed, but would not be able to live without in future.

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your theme.

Very great post. I simply stumbled upon your blog and wished to say that I have really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.After all I'll be subscribing in your feed and I'm hoping you write once more very soon!

Right here is the right web site for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really will need to…HaHa). You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject that has been written about for many years. Wonderful stuff, just excellent!

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that service?Many thanks!

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come across a blog that's equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

I don't even know the way I finished up right here, but I assumed this submit was good. I don't know who you might be but definitely you're going to a famous blogger in the event you aren't already.Cheers!
